    Superbly sculpted figure, shame about the scale (what's wrong with 90mm & 120mm?!)

    Mike,

    As previously discussed on the forum it seems to an economic arguement. Volume/ Weight/Popularity/Price.
    But this is a beauty in my opinion, the 54's also lend themselves more easily to multi figure dioramas/Vignettes

    Been looking for a 54mm to paint and this fits the bill, sublime sculpting from Adrianno. Hardy

    Very nice looking piece! I'm not that familiar with this subject, does the shield have several options for some great patterns or symbols? Looks like a great blank canvas to me!

    That may be true, and I am aware of the economics, unfortunately, even with spectacles my eyes are not what they were and I can no longer do justice to such superb figures in 54mm! It was a statement of frustration as much as a complaint.

    I'm with you, 54mm is for the birds IMO. I would rather spend the extra money for a single 90mm than buy four 54mm figures. This is a beauty of a figure but being 54mm I will never own it.

    OK, so those of you keeping score at home: Guy right 5 Mike right 0. It is gonna take one hell of a 54mm figure to get me to paint it. I am iffy on the 75mm kits, those little kits are so hard to paint!

    Just when I thought it safe to stop the romans and move to another period along comes this.
    Must have.

    I can empathise with the problem of eyesight (as a pensioner myself) fortunately I am short sighted so normal eyesight plus an optivisor and I can still do an "average" job in most scales-it must be a real problem if you are long sighted. I still buy the Roll Call, Almond, and Post Militaire kits on Ebay so that I can keep going if the eyesight deteriorates.
